linux booting fails on ppc440x5 with SRAM

I am trying to port linux on IBM powerpc-440x5. I have this board
which has this processor, a 16MB SRAM sits on location 0x0, uart and a
flash.I have a simple bootloader which does the following.
1. Initialize the processor (as part of it, we Generates the tlbs
for UART,16MB flash,16MB SRAM)
2. Initialize the UART
3. Copy the simple-boot linux_image (binary file) from flash to
0x400000 location of SRAM.
4. Kernel entry to 0x400000
I also have a device tree structure file (image.dts) which i am
passing while generating the linux image.
It all went through and linux got extracted to the 0x0th location of
SRAM. and started executing.
(plz find the log below)
it always crashed @ "Unable to handle kernel paging request for data
at address 0x0xxxxxxx"
is there anything i have to change in the boot loader or kernel with
respect to the MMU initialization ?
in the kernel code @ /arch/powerpc/kernel/head_44x.s; there is a
comment saying "its trying to invalidate all the TLB entries except
the one it currently working on". Will it make any issues as in our
case we have only one TLB for the entire 16MB sram, which will be the
current working one..
Can someone suggest us some clue or details on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Vineeth
